Trigeminal neuralgia
Trigeminal neuralgia is a chronic nerve condition that causes sharp, electric-like facial pain often triggered by simple actions like chewing, speaking, or even light touch. The trigeminal nerve, which carries sensation from the face to the brain, can become irritated or compressed when structural imbalances affect nerve pathways at the base of the skull.
At Precision Chiropractic, we use the Blair Upper Cervical Technique to gently and precisely correct misalignments of the top vertebrae in the neck (the atlas and axis). Because these vertebrae surround the brainstem the communication hub between the brain and facial nerves restoring proper alignment can help reduce irritation and improve nerve function.
By enhancing brain-to-body communication and reducing pressure around the cranial nerve pathways, Blair Chiropractic care can help decrease the frequency and intensity of trigeminal neuralgia pain naturally, without forceful manipulation or medication.
